A Fayette man
will stand trial Monday in Fayette County State Court for several violations
of county development regulations, including three counts of ignoring
stop work orders issued by county staff.
Anthony J.
Carter, who is well-known for previous bouts with local authorities, is
accused of violating three stop work orders, grading without a land disturbance
permit, covering a sewer system without an inspection and installing a
used water line at property he is developing on the Ga. Highway 85 connector
near Massengale Road. Carter has pleaded not guilty to the charges and
requested a jury trial in Fayette State Court.
According to
court documents, Carter first violated a stop work order for his property
between Dec. 13 and Feb. 1. He also violated stop work orders between
Feb. 1 and 13, and most recently between Feb. 15 and 22, the documents
say.
Court documents
also indicated that when Carter was cited for grading without a land disturbance
permit in late January, his activities caused water to back up onto county
right of way.
Carter claims
in court documents that his property is exempt from the land disturbance
permit and an on-site sewer management system was not installed.
The County
Commission is slated to hear his appeal on the stop work order at its
regular meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday at the County Administrative Complex.
